Languishing In Silence

In the still of the morning, before the sun has
                                            shone her face,
                   Before the light reaches out and traces my familiar space,

                          Quietly I retreat, with meditative thoughts,
                        The gentle steady breath of our sleeping dog,
                      The murmur of appliances, running night and day,
                   Funny I don't notice, after the sun has pushed her way,

                Nearing 6 a.m., quiet as can be, cherishing these moments
                                       Grateful for the Sanctity.

moments of peace in a world of background noise..a sunlit sanctuary invites the day..my first thought after reading this poem that put a smile on my face
